The British left Boston, the snow left your sidewalk (hopefully), Leprechaun (as played by Warwick Davis) left planet Earth, and come Tuesday 3/17 @ 8:30p YOU get to leave all of troubles behind for a few hours by heading over to It Just Got Weirdo: A Wordy Evening @ Weirdo Records (5 Leaf Clover Edition!)

Yessir, this St. Patrick’s Day we’re dropping a bomb of comedy, poetry, music & storytelling on your favorite lil vinyl record shop in Cambridge. Follow the rainbow to this show featuring an all-star lineup of ridiculous talent. Trust me, there hasn’t been this much excitement on St. Patrick’s Day since Harrison Ford had to evade Tommy Lee Jones during that parade in “The Fugitive”.

This time around we have a staggeringly good lineup that I know you’ll be thrilled for featuring comedy from: Shaun Connolly, Kristin Seltman, Mickey McCauley, & Samaria Sam Johnson

It’s that time again! Your favorite local storytelling organization is nearing the end of its spectacular competitive season. That means the semifinals are right around the corner. The best tellers & stories of the year will be showcased all over the Boston / Camber-ville area as they compete for a place on the “Big Mouth-off” finals stage.

Once again I’m in the semis this year and I’d love for you to come check me out on Tuesday 3/24, 7p at Johnny D’s in Somerville MA (and maybe vote for me if you like what you hear…)

Was honored & thrilled to participate in the pilot show of You’ve Crossed The Line an exciting multi-media evening of standup, panel, game show, & audience discussion at Salve Regina University this past Wednesday.

Organized by Teja Arboleda & Deb Farrar-Parkman the night highlighted race, religion, identity & how we can use humor to both expose and bridge the gaps in our own personal understanding and comfort levels in those areas. It was an evening of honesty, openness, & acceptance and, most of all: it was hilarious. Featuring some of my favorite comics from Boston and New York as well as guest headliner Rain Pryor who wrote the lauded memoir Jokes My Father Never Taught Me: Life, Love, and Loss with Richard Pryor.

Like many times before the weather tried to keep us down last month, and like every time before we said “Pshhhh” and had an amazing show anyway. Thanks to everyone who braved freezing cold, 6ft snowdrifts and an MBTA shutdown to make it over to Weirdo Records as we celebrated Sun Ra, ancient Egypt, & intergalactic peace ‘n love.

We lost a few artists due to the basic inability to get to some parts of the city from others, but we picked up a few special guests and actually had a decent number of audience members who just found us while walking by. We do it all again on 3/17 with the St. Patrick’s Day edition of the show (more soon on that).
